this is tremendous

Always thought this video with 800 views by a guy on YouTube named Daniel Cupps should have a few million more. It is even better that it ends in the most reprehensible way I can think of. No better way to prove the point.

Finally we’ll be able to answer the question “What if Batman was friends with the one true Aqua man, SpongeBob SquarePants?”

One of the cool things they don't tell you about LA is that there are so many corners to consume and enjoy Hollywood culture from the good ol days. Movie rental places, tiny theaters showing classics, museums, shops selling one sheets and old scripts. It's really a big sell for a nerd like me.

Twitter Post: “We've assembled 100 people with ADHD and 5 people with no soft skills to manage them, and given them a simple goal: make an impossible amount of money. We call it the games industry, and we think it's going to work great”.

Evergreen.

Masterful Troll, TCM.

Please, I am begging you: If you love your children, get them vaccinated.

This one hits hard.

I'm a Nordic model social democrat because well it's proven to work in several countries with decades of evidence. Maybe we should tax the rich and provide services. Just an idea.

some benevolent cyberpunk for you

Of course we should be concerned about artificial intelligence and climate apocalypse but I'm more worried about the rapidly approaching moment when every suitcase on the baggage carousel is identical because they're all made by AWAY.

Civilizations have collapsed over less.

An incredible performance. Second only to Shooter McGavin.

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

We noticed.

The concept of “lying under oath” is up for grabs right now. All the Trump SCOTUS judges did it about Roe. Kennedy did it to get his post. If one of these fuckers isn’t prosecuted it will be crystal clear that there are zero repercussions for doing so, and everyone will lie forever.

This month’s riso print, an homage to John Carpenter’s The Thing - my favorite film (right next to Big Trouble in Little China)

Truth.

James Van Der Beek was that rare teen heartthrob who had The Range. His work in RULES OF ATTRACTION was generationally batshit. A sad loss, far too young.

Using Mr. Rogers in a Super Bowl commercial for mortgages should result in prison time

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

A+ good friending right there

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LAPD Charges at Hundreds of High School Students in Peaceful Walkout Protest at MDC ~ L.A. TACO LAPD arrested at least two teenagers protesting ICE raids in Los Angeles yesterday. They were also seen corresponding with ICE agents on Alameda Street during the demonstrations.

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

A eulogy for the mass market paperback, "one of the most brilliant technologies in the history of the world."

A title image reads “So Youve Just Been Laid Off a post-corporate message from @katewelchhhh”

“One year ago, I was laid off from my corporate gaming job. For the first time in my 15-year career, I was unemployed without a next secure, salaried job on the horizon. I am either exceptionally lucky or talented, but it doesn't matter which it is - both no longer seem applicable.”

I just saw this instagram post from the incredibly talented and breathtakingly hilarious Kate Welch, who was laid off around a year ago, and I wanted to share it here. It’s an important message, and you deserve to read it:

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
